For anyone who hasn't heard it before today's a great day to have a listen to this "interview" with Jerry. It starts out as a relatively formal interview but quickly loosens up into a warm and generous conversation as other Heads show up and a joint is passed around. A wide range of topics is discussed and while there is some fanboy geeking out at times Jerry rolls with it and we get a glimpse into how he views the "long, strange trip" that is the Grateful Dead.

I like when the phone rings and Jerry answers it. He starts talking to a guy named 'Pat' and offers him a coupla backstage passes.
Pat apparently takes him up on it and then has a few questions about exactly how this is gonna work.
Jerry has to clarify: "Well, I'm gonna TELL somebody about this. I'm not gonna be the guy standing at the gate waiting for you with your passes."
Hilarious.
